Notes

You can substitute the cashews for almonds.

Medjool dates can be bought from all major supermarkets.

If you can't buy medjool dates, you can use dried pitted dates, however, you'll need to soak them in water for 15 minutes before using and may also need to add a little water to the mixture when blitzing.

If your mixture is not easily rolling into balls, add a little water to the mixture and blitz again until it comes together easily.
